Well that's abit of a joke then. In the game over add the is a stock yellow CV8 cleaning up the feild.

Can't Holden race anything Stock?.......... Oh that's right an XR6HP was hosing Holden V8's!:dead:

"Well, unless Holden change the rules of V8 supercars " Holden dont make the rules to V8 supercars, the cars are only allowed 5 litres of displacement , why do you think the ls1 never made it there. The rules are there to even the field, maybe they need more rules then cause damn HRT just keep carving.

Ps i would like to see a stock GT compete in nations cup. pfft
oh and while your talking advertisements , could the falcon xr8 ute break the speed of sound, because i distictly remember them advertising they could. Stop picking on a damn add.

Because the cars will have to come into the pits every 2 laps to top up the oil

Who remembers Darly Coon and that beast of an AU XR6HP that cleaned up the field time and time again. but got rev limited and extra weight on the car, cuz he was too fast.

Let's hope we see the GT-P in GTP soon enough. It's the only place that you get a little idea of how good a road car can be, barring the legal drags. And as for Nations Cup, well going on the Monaro situation, that's entering into fantasy land now anyway.
Once apon a time I thought that GTP was stocky's with free exhausts and fuel injection systems, so I don't know where a 7L C5R comes into it.
As per VXLS1's thoughts, I too would like the GT to be racing near showroom specs, otherwise what's the point? Mod 'em enough and we'd have another V8 Supercar series.
